Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC)
PCS move checklist: arriving at or leaving the KMC
We are a small, local moving company based in Kaiserslautern. We help US service members, civilians and their families with moves around Kaiserslautern, Ramstein, Landstuhl and the wider region – in English, with a written fixed price including German VAT.
The price calculator is in German – it only asks for living space, addresses and floors. Prefer English? Send us a WhatsApp message.
Please read first – honest facts
- We are an independent private company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or a contractor of the US Air Force, US Army, DoD, the installation or its Transportation/Relocation Office (TMO/JPPSO).
- We are not a DoD-approved Transportation Service Provider for government-arranged household goods shipments (HHG). International shipments to or from the US are arranged by your TMO – not by us.
- If you want to be reimbursed for a move you arrange yourself (for example a Personally Procured Move or a local move between off-base and on-base housing), check with your TMO/finance office before booking what is covered under your orders and which documents (e.g. weight tickets, receipts) you need. We are happy to provide a detailed invoice.

PCS checklist: the local part of your move
Your government-arranged shipment is planned with your TMO. The local part – between temporary lodging, storage, off-base rentals and on-base housing – is often arranged by you. This checklist covers that part.
Arriving in the KMC
- As soon as you know your dates, check with your TMO what is shipped and covered under your orders.
- If your housing is not ready yet, plan storage in between – we have our own storage facility (page in German).
- For an off-base address, ask early about a no-parking zone (Halteverbot): we apply for the permit and put up the signs ourselves; the authority needs lead time.
- For on-base housing, arrange base access (a pass) for our crew in advance.
Leaving the KMC
- Clarify with your TMO what is shipped by the government and what you move or dispose of yourself.
- Book final cleaning (page in German) for the handover to your landlord – we are a registered cleaning business (Gebäudereiniger, Chamber of Crafts).
- Have bulky waste, old electrical appliances or green waste picked up – our collection and transport of non-hazardous waste is notified under § 53 KrWG.
- If move-out and departure dates do not match, store items with us in the meantime.
